8“That’s all for today.” The teacher blurt out the exciting news to the students who had been longing to go out class.
Most of the students are having hang-overs due to partying over the weekends, some are too lazy and too tired to listen at the lectures and four students are having difficulties on the events occur… Matsui Rena, Kashiwagi Yuki, Watanabe Mayu and Miyazawa Sae.
Mayu is having a double thoughts if she’ll ask Yuki on a date later or not. Of course, she knew she’ll give Yuki her time but Mayu will not let another big-headed person to get on the first move to Yuki. In the end, Mayu decided to ask Yuki. She got up on her seat and went to Yuki’s table.
“Yuki.” Mayu said, a smile plastered on her face. Actually, Mayu misses givng Yuki a quick stolen kiss, but there is no chance to do that now.
“Yuki.” Another person standing across Mayu said. Miyazawa Sae. The tall girl give Mayu a glare then set her gaze to Yuki again.
Yuki looked back and forth to the two person she is seeing. She doesn’t want to have another hard thoughts on Sae and Mayu’s confessions. She had been going crazy and lost from the day they had confessed. Can’t they just let her have space at least? Yuki sighed and ask what they want while fixing all her school stanionaries.
“Can I have a date with you Yuki?” Sae and Mayu said at the same time. Mayu stick out her tongue to Sae while Sae give Mayu a weird expression.
Rena who is about to go out of the class stopped on her track and looked at Yuki but then went out the class after as she has to go... somewhere. Sayaka, Haruna and Yuko looked at the three girls in the middle of the room. Thinking, another hard time will be made.
Yuki rose up on her seat and stare at the two. Yuki then walk past them, ignoring the heart broken faces of Mayu and Sae. But before she can go far away from the two, Mayu and Sae grab her hands at the same time… again.
“MOU~! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!” Sae angrily said to Mayu as she thinks Mayu is copying her.
Mayu pouted and look at Yuki. “Will you go on a date with me later?” Mayu asked, hoping for Yuki to answer.
Sae was startle on Mayu’s invitation. “Kashiwagi Yuki, I’m inviting you to go out with me. Please?” She did a formal request, hoping Yuki to accept.
Yuki is getting irritated, but an idea struck into her mind. She can declare a little game if she want. As for the two, they can play along if they wanted to.
“I have lots of school works to do but…” Yuki paused and place her hand on the hips. “… we can do our dates later. You, you and me.” Yuki pointed at the two and went away.
“Us three?!” The two said in unison again.
This is going to be a long date for Yuki.
--
Yukirin waited in front of the Akiba gate where the three should meet. Mayu is the first one to arrive wearing her white sundress and a heels with megane on. Sae came a little late wearing a black buttoned-up jumpsuit and a fred perry canvas. The two girls greeted each other with a cold look.
While walking, Mayu is holding Yuki’s hand while Sae is at their side, feeling a little lost towards the two.
“Yuki, let’s go take some photos in purikura!” Sae grab a hold on Yuki’s arm and drag her to the photo booth. Yet, Yuki removed her hands away from Sae.
“I’ll decide where to go.” She said coldly. Mayu then snickered quietly while Sae is blushing from embarrassment.
Playing in her little game, Yukirin surely is having fun. Dragging the two in an arcade and make them fight on how many rewarded toys they can give to Yuki. Eating in a restaurant where Sae and Mayu have to fight who is going to sit next to Yuki and too stupid for them not to think Yuki can sit in the middle. Entering in the clothing stores, giving Yukirin their taste of fashion. In short, wherever they go, they have this silly immature fights.
“I’ve had enough!” Sae complained. She’s irritated from the fact this date is not a real date. With Watanabe Mayu on the side is making her more furious.
Mayu and Yuki turn their back to find Sae glaring at Mayu.
“So you’re complaining?” Yuki asked a little offended on Sae’s protest.
“No I’m not! I’ve had enough on seeing this girl.” Sae then pushed Mayu which Mayu stumble on the floor, creating a little wound on her elbow and started crying.
“Mayu!” Yuki quickly bent down to help Mayu and a hint of panic rush inside Yuki. The sudden reaction of Yuki completely answered Sae’s question.
“Why would I wait for you if you can’t express your true answer?!” Sae didn’t realize she sounded wretched. She promised Yuki right? Yet, she is breaking the promise now.
Yuki went over Sae and slap the girl sharp and crisp. Sae nearly stumble on the ground on Yuki’s slap. The most solid slap Miyazawa Sae ever receive. Tears are forming in Sae’s eyes. Her cheeks are burning and her heart is melting.
“Then my answer is; I don’t love you Miyazawa Sae.”
Kashiwagi Yuki’s words did a double slap on Sae. Hearing those words to the person she treasure made the whole Miyazawa Sae burst into pieces, her heart was pounding really fast and will stop beating to make Sae lifeless. Sae didn’t mean to say those thing she said, she’s only mad at this date she has with Yuki along with Mayu. All the anger built inside her made Sae react like that to Mayu. She does not intent to push and hurt Mayu. Miyazawa Sae doesn’t want to hear the rejection from Kashiwagi Yuki’s mouth.
“I-I… I’m… s-sorry.” Sae said in between sobs. She grab Yuki’s shoulder but the other girl distance herself from Sae.
“Sorry is not enough.” Yuki coldly said and grab Mayu from the hands, leaving the heart broken Sae behind.
--
Yuki and Mayu are standing in front of Yuki’s dorm room. Yuki is crying because of the rejection words she said to Sae. Yet, she is still furious on what Sae did. Promising…
“I’m sorry. It’s my fault why Sae got mad.” Mayu lowered her head and pecked Yuki on the cheeks. “Goodnight.” Mayu is having a little tears too. Mayu took a few steps when Yuki wrapped her arms behind Mayu.
“I lo—“ Yuki was about say her answer when Mayu interrupted her.
“I don’t need sympathy Yuki. I’m not going to accept it if you feel pity for me.” Mayu removed the arms of Yuki around her and left.
‘
I’m not a second option, Yuki.’

“YUKI!!!” Sae was pounding the door room of Yuki as she is creating a commotion in the rooms near Yuki’s. Sae doesn’t care if she is being loud, all she wants is Yuki to come out the door and accept her apology.
“I’M SORRY!!!” Sae shouted with all her might. Most of the girls are peeping through their door not wanting to disturb Sae’s moment.
“I… LOVE… YOU... I’M… SORRY.” Sae said in between sobs. Her face is a mess from crying.
“SAE!!!” Sayaka and Yuko called out. Sayaka gripped her arms around Sae, but Sae keeps flailing and kicking in the air as she wants to go confront Yuki.
“YUKI OPEN THE FCKIN DOOR!!! DAMN IT!!!” Sae shouted at the top of her lungs.
“Yuki. Please open the door.” Yuko calmly said while knocking on Yuki’s room.
“I’M SORRY!!!” Sae cried.
Takamina, Atsuko and Miichan hurriedly run over Sae. “What’s going on?!” Takamina asked Sayaka and Yuko, but Yuko told Takamina she doesn’t know either which probably the two had a big fight.
Atsuko held Takamina’s hand and give her the scared expression as she is afraid that this sort of situation might happen to them two.
“MINAMI PLEASE GET THE KEYS FOR THIS DAMN DOOR!!!” Sae ordered. Takamina nodded but she was stopped on her track when she heard Atsuko.
“Yuki should open the door herself.” Atsuko said to Sae and Takamina.
Mayu also went to Yuki’s room as she is hearing Sae’s loud shout inside her room. “Sae.” Mayu cried out.
“MAYU!!! TELL YUKI TO COME OUT PLEASE!!!” Sae removed the grip of Sayaka and kneel down to Mayu to beg her request.
“Get up.” Mayu tried to rose Sae up but Sae stayed on her position. Mayu then went infront of Yuki’s door and knocked.
“Yuki… please open.” Mayu pleaded. “Stop running away. Face this problem you have with Sae.” Mayu look over Sae who is now sitting against the wall, whimpering Yuki’s name over and over.
Mayu want to get things settled between Sae and Yuki as she is feeling the guilt inside her that all of this is her fault. Mayu doesn’t want Sae to have a messed up thoughts to Yuki, she wanted Sae what Yuki’s heart is saying.
The door opened, revealing Haruna’s figure. The girls stayed outside the room to give Sae and Yuki a privacy. Sae quickly went inside to find Yuki crying at the corner of her bed, hands covering her ears. Sae hugged Yuki first and parted away afterwards.
“I’m sorry.” Sae apologized.
“Sorry is not enough Sae. You’re only thinking about yourself being rejected. Scared to be rejected. Here I am, I have the most difficulties. I don’t know what to do anymore.” Yuki looked straight in Sae’s swollen eyes.
“I am scared because I don’t want to lose you. I really am willing to wait for you Kashiwagi Yuki.”
Yuki nodded. “I know you will but...” Yuki paused. She knew the next words she is going to say will be the end. Kashiwagi Yuki wanted to say her real answer.
“I love Watanabe Mayu.”
